Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

18 kilogram Mass Blokus addressed a level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the Block in the surface is 0.6
Tasya [4]

Question: 18 kilogram Mass Block rest on level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the Block and the surface is 0.6 what  horizontal force is required to just move the blcok ( take gravity as 10m/s2 )

Answer:

108 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

F' = mgμ................ Equation 1

Where F' = Frictional force = horizontal  force required to just move the block,  m = mass of the block, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of static friction.

From the question,

Given: m = 18 kg, μ = 0.6, g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F' = 18×0.6×10

F' = 108 N

Suppose that the Sun started shrinking in size, without losing any mass. What would be the effect of the Sun's change on the orb
adell [148]

Answer:

F = G M m / R^2 gravitational force on planet of mass m.

None of these quantities change in the given hypothesis so

there will be no change in the orbit of mass m

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆
